set the backdrop
Texan BBQ Party will be a fun and fun experience for you and your guests. To get into the Texas-style party atmosphere, forgo the fancy silverware and go for the homey approach. So set the stage for the Texan vibe in your backyard.
Start with a dress code of faded blue jeans or head-to-spur fringe to keep guests in a Texan frame of mind. You can bring some posers with naughty slogans like: “noon until the cows come home” or “eat barbecue without a napkin” etc. Spread some desperate decor by turning your backyard into a tumbleweed-covered dust bowl with straw on your deck or patio and bales of hay for guests to sit on. Cast iron cookware, dinner bell, cowboy boots, saddles, horseshoes, sleeping bags, wagon wheels, dried chili pepper, rope, Texas flag and many more of his innovative ideas to set the right mood. A country music from Texas born country artists is a must, without which it would be very boring.
Roll out a red checkered or denim tablecloth. For napkins, make some colorful bandanas tied with string or even the sheriff’s star works wonderfully at your Texan BBQ party. Make ‘guest name cards’ to place on the tables, making them feel special. Add a decorative centerpiece in cacti clay pots or hide a pot in a pair of old boots and some fresh flowers in the pots.
A Texan’s mouth waters like the Colorado River over a piece of ribs or a piece of cornbread. The food is made attractive with delicious varieties of special hot sauce. For adventurous guests, add tortilla chips and funky salt and pepper shakers. If possible, keep drinks in an old fashioned wash tub filled with ice.
Fun at the barbecue party
The guests may be strangers to each other. Bring fun and break the ice with a dance lesson. Invite guests to the floor barefoot or in cowboy boots for a line dancing class.
Texas Hold’em is a fast and fun game for 2 to 10 people. The goal is to end up with the best poker hand and win the pot.

Squirt Gun Showdown to light a burning candle or empty soda can and have your guests fire a squirt gun to put out the flame or can first.
